The Duane Reed Gallery presents the latest work of acclaimed artist,
Dale Chihuly. The exhibition opens Friday, November 20th with an opening that evening from 5 –
8pm. The exhibition will run through January 30thth.
Chihuly’s distinctive glass sculpture is represented by over 180 international museums including the
Louvre, MOMA, the Whitney Museum, the Metropolitan Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum.
His recent exhibition at the Kew Botanical Garden in London drew in 950,000 visitors. Chihuly’s
popularity also has a special art historical resonance. His work owes much to the grand tradition of
Renaissance era Venetian glass, yet his work squarely sits in the modern avant-garde. Critic Donald
Kuspit commented that Chihuly, with an intention to transform and deepen consciousness, was able to
'find transcendence in the medium itself. He mythologizes glass into the ideal medium of expression'.
In this visionary leap Chihuly’s rare ability to conceive of sculptural glass on a monumental scale
revolutionized the medium.
